Sorry for disappearing
I apologize for disappearing with not even a word. Here’s what’s been happening at our house:
We just adopted baby Jacob! We first heard about the situation on September 1, met the birthparents on September 5, Jacob was born on September 9, and placement was September 14. Most people get 9 months to prepare, we had just 14 days start to finish.
On top of it all, Jacob was in the NICU for 9 days, so I spent my days and nights with him until he came home.
I will be getting back to this blog–I have a lot of ideas and changes for next season. In the meantime I will post about my harvests, fall planting (just garlic!), and recipes when I have time.
Thanks for your patience!
Thank you!
As for drip, I’ve done two things–small drip pipe with built-in emitters every 6″, spaced 6″ apart. Second is larger drip pipe that I put emitters into every 6″, spaced 12″ apart. Here is a link to my post that shows my irrigation: /irrigation/
I prefer the drip pipe with built-in emitters. It seems to do a better job, probably because it’s spaced more closely. Next year I will add lines to my larger drip pipe so that it gets better coverage. What I found is that when you use Mel’s mix the water doesn’t spread as well as it would with real dirt. Sort of like watering sandy soil.
He must be getting big! I had a little boy named Teancum in August. I hope your able to get some sleep! Your new love is adorable! Congrats!
Hello,
Congrats on your baby boy!
I’m new to your site and new to SFG. I have a question about drip irrgation. I was thinking about 1/4″ drip line with 6″ emitters spacing. Running 2 lines per sqft. Do you think that’s enough water. There are so many thoughts out there with drip that it’s confusing me. Someone said that’s not enough and they used T-Tape with 3″ emitters. Please give me your thoughts. I live in Houston, TX.
Love your vegetable pics!
Wow!!! That’s wonderful! Congratulations. I wish you all the best 🙂 What a blessed little guy!
First, Congratulations! Babies are always exciting and a huge reason not to blog. I have a new baby myself, she is 18 days old, and I can’t seem to find enough energy to do much of anything.
I recently found your blog through Food Storage Made Easy and I’m super excited to go through your previous post. I look forward to future posts!
What a wonderful suprise and great excuse not to blog. Congrats – he’s absolutely adorable. Enjoy this special time!
Congrats! Even if you had 9 months you would still feel as unprepared! Hang in there and smile 🙂
Congratulations on your beautiful bundle of joy. I wonder when he will receive his first trowel and gloves to help mom in the garden.
Wow! Blessings from heaven! Very happy for you!
Jacob looks like a dream come true.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations! Definitely a great reason to disappear from your gardening website!
Congratulations!!! He is absolutely perfect!!!
Wow, that is quite an end of summer harvest! I think you hit the “mother” load (sorry for the pun, I just couldn’t resist!). Have fun with your new baby.
Wow – Congratulations! 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS! Wow that was fast. I bet you are just thrilled.
Just wanted to say congrats! My youngest is adopted and we have a special place in our hearts for adoption. Hope you enjoy your new addition!
